1 Samuel 30
1 Mgbe Devid na ndị ikom ya rutere obodo Ziklag nʼụbọchị nke atọ, ha hụrụ na ndị Amalek abịala wakporo bi nʼakụkụ ndịda Negev na Ziklag. Ha buru agha megide Ziklag, gbaa obodo ahụ ọkụ,
It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made a raid on the Negev, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
2 dọtakwa ndị inyom na ndị niile bi nʼime ya nʼagha, ma okenye ma ụmụntakịrị. Ha egbughị ha egbu, kama ha buuru ha laa.
and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
3 Mgbe Devid na ndị ikom ya ruru Ziklag, ha hụrụ na-esuola ya ọkụ, dọkpụrụ ndị inyom ha, na ụmụ ndị ikom na ndị inyom nʼagha.
When David and his men came to the city, look, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
4 Ya mere, Devid na ndị ikom ya kwara akwa ruo mgbe ike akwa gwụrụ ha.
Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 Ndị inyom abụọ Devid, Ahinoam onye Jezril na Abigel, nwunye ochie Nebal onye Kamel, sokwa na ndị a dọtara nʼagha ahụ.
David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 Ihe a wetaara Devid oke nsogbu, nʼihi na ndị ikom ya nọ na-ekwu okwu iji nkume tugbuo ya; ha niile nọ nʼobi ilu nʼihi ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị inyom. Ma Devid chọtara ike nʼime Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya.
David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
7 Devid sịrị Abịata, bụ onye nchụaja, nwa Ahimelek, “Chịtara m efọọd ahụ.” Ya mere, Abịata chịtara ya nye ya
David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me here the ephod." Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8 Mgbe ahụ, Devid jụrụ Onyenwe anyị ase sị, “Ọ bụ m chụso ndị a na-apụnara ndị mmadụ ihe? Ọ bụrụ na m achụso ha, aga m ejide ha?” Onyenwe anyị zara, “E, chụso ha ọsọ, ị ga-achụkwute ha, ma nataghachikwa ihe niile ha were.”
David inquired of the LORD, saying, "If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all."
9 Mgbe ahụ, Devid na narị ndị agha isii ya bịarutere nʼọdọ mmiri Beso, ebe ha hapụrụ ụfọdụ ndị
So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Wadi Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
10 narị ndị ikom abụọ nʼime ha enwekwaghị ike ịgafe ndagwurugwu Beso nʼihi ike ọgwụgwụ, ma Devid na narị anọ ndị ọzọ chụsoro ha.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn't cross the Wadi Besor.
11 Ha hụrụ otu nwokorobịa onye Ijipt nʼọhịa, duuru ya bịakwute Devid. Ha nyere ya mmiri ka ọ ṅụọ, nyekwa ya nri ka o rie.
They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
12 Ihe ha nyere ya bụ achịcha fiig, na ụyọkọ mkpụrụ vaịnị abụọ nke a mịkpọrọ amịkpọ. Mgbe o richara ha, o nweghachiri onwe ya, nʼihi na o ribeghị nri ọbụla, maọbụ ṅụọ mmiri ọbụla ụbọchị atọ, ehihie na nʼabalị.
They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13 Mgbe ahụ, Devid jụrụ ya sị, “Ị bụ onye? Ebeekwa ka i si bịa?” Ọ zara Devid sị, “Abụ m onye Ijipt, bụrụkwa ohu onye Amalek. Onyenwe m hapụrụ m nʼebe a abalị atọ gara aga nʼihi na ahụ adịghị m ike.
David asked him, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" He said, "I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
14 Anyị si obodo ebe anyị gara lụọ agha na-alọghachi mgbe ha hapụrụ m nʼebe a. Anyị gara lụgbuo obodo ndị Keret, nke dị nʼime Negeb, na obodo dị na ndịda ala Juda na ala Kaleb. Anyị gbakwara obodo Ziklag ọkụ.”
We made a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."
15 Devid jụrụ ya sị, “I nwere ike duru m gaa ebe ha nọ.” Nwokorobịa ahụ zara ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-aṅụ iyi nʼaha Chineke na ị gaghị egbu m maọbụ were m nyeghachi onyenwe m, aga m eduru gị gaa ebe ha nọ.”
David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this troop?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop." And he swore to him.
16 O duuru ha jee nʼebe ndị Amalek nọ. Mgbe ha ruru ebe ahụ, ha hụrụ ha ebe ha tụsara onwe ha nʼala na-eri na-aṅụ, na-etekwa egwu ọṅụ, nʼihi ihe dị ukwuu ha kwatara nʼagha site nʼala ndị Filistia, na nʼala Juda.
When he had brought him down, look, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 Devid na ndị agha ya bịakwasịrị ha na mberede gbuo ha site nʼabalị ahụ ruo anyasị echi ya. Ọ dịkwaghị otu nwoke nʼime ha fọdụrụ ndụ ma ọ bụghị narị ndị ikom anọ makwasịrị nʼelu ịnyịnya kamel ha gbalaga.
David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day and he put them to death. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
18 Devid nwetaghachiri ihe niile ndị Amalek kwatara nʼagha, tinyere ndị inyom ya abụọ.
He recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
19 O nweghị ihe furu efu, ma nke ukwu ma nke nta, ụmụ ndị ikom na ụmụ ndị inyom, ihe a kwatara nʼagha, maọbụ ihe ọbụla ọzọ ndị Amalek dọtara nʼagha. Devid nwetaghachiri ihe niile.
There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back all.
20 Ọzọkwa, Devid chịkọtara igwe ehi na igwe ewu na atụrụ. Ndị ikom ya chịịrị ha, tinyere anụ ụlọ ndị ọzọ, na-aga, na-asị, “Ndị a bụ ihe Devid kwatara nʼagha.”
He took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, "This is David's spoil."
21 Emesịa, Devid bịarutere ebe narị ndị ikom abụọ ndị ahụ nọ na Ndagwurugwu Beso. Ndị a bụ ndị ahụ na-enweghị ike iso Devid nʼihi na ike gwụrụ ha. Ha pụtara zute Devid na ndị so ya. Mgbe Devid na ndị ikom ya bịara ha nso, ọ jụrụ ha otu ha mere.
David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom he also had made to stay at the Wadi Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he greeted them.
22 Ma ndị ikom ọjọọ ahụ niile, na ndị okwu na ụka nọ nʼetiti ndị na-eso Devid sịrị, “Nʼihi na ndị a esoghị anyị jee, ya mere ha agaghị eso anyị keta ihe ndị a anyị kwatara nʼagha. Nyeghachi ha naanị nwunye ha na ụmụ ha; gwakwa ha ka ha laa.”
Then every wicked and worthless one of the men who had gone with David answered, and they said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to each man his wife and his children. And let them take them, and depart."
23 Ma Devid sịrị, “Mba, ụmụnna m, unu ekwesighị isi otu a kee ihe ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere anyị. O chebere anyị, nyefee nʼaka anyị ndị agha ahụ niile bịara imegide anyị.
Then David said, "You shall not do so after what the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered into our hand the raiding party that came against us.
24 Unu chere na ọ dị onye ga-ege unu ntị mgbe unu na-ekwu okwu dị otu a? Anyị niile ga-eketa oke; oke ndị jere agha na ndị chebere ihe anyị ga-abụ otu.”
So who will listen to you in this matter? For they are not inferior to you. For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so will his share be who remains with the supplies; they will share alike."
25 Site nʼụbọchị ahụ, Devid mere ka nke a bụrụ iwu nye ndị Izrel niile ruo taa.
It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
26 Mgbe ha rutere Ziklag, Devid weere ụfọdụ ihe ha kwatara nʼagha zigara ndị okenye Juda, ndị bụ ndị enyi ya, na-asị, “Lee onyinye ewetaara unu site nʼụfọdụ nʼime ihe anyị kwatara site nʼaka ndị iro Onyenwe anyị.”
When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah and to his friends, saying, "Look, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD."
27 O zigara ha nye ndị bi na Betel, Ramọt Negev na Jatịa,
He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramath Negev, and to those who were in Jattir,
28 nyekwa ndị nọ Aroea, Sifmot, Eshtemoa
and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29 na Rakal, nyekwa ndị bi nʼobodo ndị Jerameel na nke ndị Ken,
and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenizzites.
30 nyekwa ndị bi na Homa, Bo Ashan, Atak
and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athach,
31 na Hebrọn na ndị nọ nʼebe niile ndị ahụ ebe Devid na ndị ya wagharịrị.
and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
